Numeracy skills of nursing students
Nurse Education Today, 2011Research has highlighted poor mathematical ability amongst qualified and student nurses. Three major classifications of errors: i)conceptual, ii)arithmetical and iii)computational have been identified. These errors involve being unable to formulate an equation from information given, unable to operate a given equation, or simple arithmetical errors ...

Literacy and Numeracy Skills and Anticoagulation Control
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2004The ability to use printed material to function in society (literacy) and to handle basic numerical concepts (numeracy) may have implications in patients' ability to follow dosing schedules. We examined literacy and numeracy skills among patients on warfarin and explored their association with anticoagulation control.Patients older than 50 years ...
